Support my walk to help stop suicide

On Saturday, 9th of May, I’ll be taking part in Darkness Into Light 2026. This is a walk that holds deep meaning for so many people, myself included.  

I’m walking to show support for those who are struggling right now, to honour those we’ve lost, and to help ensure Pieta can continue to be there for people when they need support most. 

Every step I take is for someone who may feel unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed. It’s my way of saying, “You are not alone. Help is available. There is always light, even when it’s hard to see it.” 

If you’re in a position to support my walk, please know that every single euro helps Pieta continue to answer the call and guide people towards hope at some of the darkest moments of their lives. 

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this and for supporting me along the way.

My Updates

As today was the darkness into light. The biggest work so far

As  the main route was changed it was 5.1 km and to add on my KMs to and from my house i totally achieved 9.3 kms  all for a good cause.  Enjoy every bit of it.   If my fundraising helps a lot of people in crisis I’m extremely happy with it.  Nobody should be on their own and Hope is what other people need that’s what they should receive
